Will We Be Ready?

We are raising a tech savvy generation that thirsts for exploration. In the video I watched "No Future Left Behind" children are speaking to their teachers about this hunger to explore. As part of the next generation of teachers, I worry, "will I be able to quench their thirst?" In schools, students are blocked from gaming and searching for what the internet has to offer. We expect them to become well rounded citizens of the global community, but don't give them the skills to assist in reaching this potential. In the video one student says, "How can I create my future with the tools of your past?" and another, "You want me to do it your way." As the next generation, I will strive to change this for my students and bridge the technology gap.

    I agree. I think that these students want to be given the opportunity to be well-rounded. Educators drill into students with the message of "be well-rounded", but there is no guidance on how to be a "well-rounded" citizen.
